Over 800 participants from 15 countries attend National Prayer Breakfast

That's according to the Office of the President of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

The event was also attended by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk, MPs, leaders of churches and religious organizations, volunteers, chaplains, military personnel, veterans and athletes.

The Ukrainian leader emphasized that the Prayer Breakfast had brought together people with different views, but all united by the desire to ensure a true victory of good over evil for Ukraine.

The participants in the National Prayer Breakfast were addressed by the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, and former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.

"We pray for the continued strength of the Ukrainian army, the safety of the Ukrainian people and lasting peace in your homeland," said the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

In his address, Mike Pence stressed that for more than two years, the Ukrainian people have bravely resisted the unprovoked and unconscionable invasion of a nation four times larger in population and ten times more powerful in economic capacity.

"Across borders, continents, and languages, we have come together to ask God to bring peace, justice, and victory to the people of Ukraine," Mike Pence noted.

U.S. Congressman Don Bacon mentioned that he is praying for Ukraine's victory.

"We are praying for the wounded warriors to recover, we are praying for all the Ukrainian children, abducted by the Russians, to return to their families," Don Bacon said.

Brian Fitzpatrick, Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukrainian Caucus, pointed out that the entire world is witnessing the resilience and courage of the Ukrainian people in their fight against tyranny.

"This heroic struggle of the Ukrainian people is reminiscent of our own struggle for freedom and democracy," he added.

National Prayer Breakfast attendees were welcomed via video by U.S. Representatives Robert Aderholt, Mike Quigley, Tim Walberg, Juan Vargas, Jerry Moran and House Chaplain Margaret Kibben; Senators James Lankford, Richard Blumenthal, Steve Daines; Senate Chaplain Admiral Barry Black; and leaders of 56 religious missions and churches from around the world.
